When connectivity of digital formats brings all the information within reach permanently and immediately, closed files, localized libraries, start to lose their meaning (especially their spatial meaning); they become ubiquitous.

Our memories are now the web's memories, our knowledge is in some sense still ours and is also tinged with the web's knowledge. The fact that a piece of information is in some place is enough for it to be at the same time in uncountable places and, applying communication tools, to be at the same time in more and more places. What's left of our memories then? What do they become?

The subject of this Y SIN EMBARGO is precisely memory, its forms, places, functions and posibilities, its updates upgrades, and therefore its new forms, places, functions and posibilities. And to go beyond in the logic and critical readings around these questions, the present issue will not have a permanent existence, available, as a part of the shared memory that we humans have on the web; on the contrary, it will be a work sent directly to the void, it will be lost, as a pile of organized energy in a dissipative medium, like all that we cannot download from our heads (or access anywhere),YSE#25, just a memory, will cease existing on October 5th, 2010.
